Back of the Box Recipes view detail comment email this

This commercial site is devoted to the recipes found on food packaging, initially created to spur demand for brand-name products. The site features printable recipes in a variety of categories, such as appetizers, desserts, one-dish meals, pasta, poultry, rice, beans, salads, seafood, soups, and diabetic, holiday, and low-fat dishes. Most recipes come directly from food packaging; a few are reader-suggested recipes using brand-name products.
